The Museum of African Art
About This Museum
People often find their way here, to a quiet street in Belgrade, with a sense of quiet curiosity. They come not just for the art, but for the story it tells—a story that connects the heart of the Balkans to West Africa through powerful, silent objects. You'll find yourself standing before a Dogon ceremonial mask, its weathered wood speaking of generations of ritual, or tracing the intricate patterns on a Yoruba textile. It’s a small museum that leaves a surprisingly deep and resonant impression, a unique cultural bridge in an unexpected place.
Collection Highlights
The permanent collection centers on stunning wooden sculptures from Mali and Nigeria, including expressive Dogon figures and vibrant Ashanti ceremonial cloth. Don't miss the display of Mande pottery; the simplicity of the forms is breathtaking.
Visitor Information
It's tucked away on Andre Nikolića street, a pleasant stroll from the city center. Check their website before you go, as their traveling exhibitions from across Europe are always changing things up.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a handsome, understated villa that feels more like a refined family home than a formal institution, with warm-toned floors and intimate gallery spaces.
